[Evan Scott]

His career may have ended on a low note with the guns-in-the-locker-room incident, but at one time Agent Zero was one of the NBA's brightest stars. Being an NBA superstar got him certain privileges, like his very own PE colorway of the adidas The Kobe , which he wore during the 2005-06 season. In Wizards team colors, the shoe features a white upper with gold and blue accents, and is only known to exist in two pairs. Now one of them can be yours, as the very rare sneaker has landed on eBay .

Enjoy the video and don't forget that they Yeezy 350 Boost drops this Saturday, June 27th at these select retailers .The real conversation came on Sunday after he spent over an hour signing autographs and posing for photos with fans who showed up at the adidas Originals showcase at H-Town Sneaker Summit; we talked about why he's drawn to the adidas Y-3 and Jeremy Scott lines, the surprising and ambitious work he's dabbling in right now, and why he feels like his iconic status in fashion and sneakers is warranted  all topped off with a rather juicy quote at the end in regards to the potential for his own signature sneaker in the future. Read on below!

It's not a stretch to say the adidas shoes that Jeremy Scott designs aren't made with the mainstream sneaker audience in mind, and that's just fine with him. Scott has never been one to play it safe and blend in with the crowd, whether it's with his fashion designs, sneakers or his various other creative endeavors, and as you might imagine, many fans of his work are cut from the same cloth. It takes a bold and confident individual to pull off having giant wings or stuffed animals on their shoes, and the market has proven that there are plenty of eager consumers ready to take that leap and turn some heads.

There was a cult following from the beginning that quickly spread to the point that each new release became a must-have for the ever-growing swarm of Jeremy Scott devotees. The first few years of releases were distributed in limited quantities and were especially scarce in the U.S., where they could only be found at a handful of Stateside retailers. Nowadays, Jeremy Scott x adidas sneakers are much more readily available and sold in far greater quantities  a development necessitated by the enormous demand generated by years of growing momentum and awareness, but also thanks in large part to an impromptu hip-hop co-sign that introduced Jeremy's Wings 2.0 to a whole new audience.

The Consortium line running for a good while, as other adidas Originals capsules like Blue have come and gone. The latest Three Stripes series has a more abstract name, as the adidas 0- Energy Boost gives us a hint of what to expect from the upcoming product range. This particular style is tonal navy blue with white on the namesake midsole foam and a tonal brown liner in the camo neighborhood. Stick with Sneaker News for the latest on this pair and the adidas 0- shoes to follow and let us know what you think now that we've seen this colorway in full.

To build on that, designers can go many ways, but with 3ST, we wanted to do more with less. 3ST is bold, yet simple, and packed with a good amount of hidden bonuses from the Torsion system. Torsion is used for stability but doubles down for durability as well with the 3ST. EVA midsole, which is never found in vulc, was implemented inside the 3ST for that perfect addition of comfort to a vulc style shoe.
